Having already sold games in store for some time now, a bigger presence will be placed upon the stores sector as part of a shakeup that'll introduce â€˜basic better retailing' thanks to new products and technologies.

"Games retail has been hard hit of late, by some of the most difficult trading conditions we've seen," said PlayStation's UK commercial director Alex Coultate.

"It's great news that a long-standing and well respected retailer will live on."

Do you think this expansion into games retail – which is largely dominated by online retailers and supermarkets – is a smart move for Blockbuster?

Perhaps they're doing very little other than expanding into dying markets too?
